I just had a second experience with a strange booking bug.  The weirder part is that my first experience was on the US Airways system and the second experience was on the American Airlines system.  But the same thing happened. Two Years Ago First, my previous experience.  I booked a …

An era has ended.  Piedmont Airlines (now part of US Airways) was the first to use the Being 737-400. And now they’ve used their last. According to the Desert Sun: The aircraft — tail number N435US — flew from Charlotte to Dallas/Fort Worth to Philadelphia before returning to Charlotte on …

Random.org has spoken and the winner is…. The proof that these results are truly random–the winner voted for American Airlines.  <long sigh> Here’s the original post.
